USPoker recently caught up with him about his runner-up finish and recent success in the partypoker Ultimate Super Satellite.
“I ran just about as good as one can run deep in a big tournament, so it’s tough to get too down on coming up a little short of the bracelet.” Buzgon said of the first runner-up finish.

This eight-max event drew in 623 entries and a prize pool of $448,560 on Wednesday. At the end of the day, legendary online crusher Chris “Robotbob47” Moorman snatched his second bracelet and $102,406.
The 888poker ambassador wasted no time in showing off his new bracelet:
Other notable cashes included Ryan Leng, Tom Cannuli, Ryan Dodd, and Justin Lapka.
Event 30: $600 NLHE 6-Max Championship (July 29)
Mitchell “franzia” Halverson overcame a 783-player field to win his first bracelet and $84,057. The championship event took 10 hours to complete and produced a prize pool of $422,820.
Halverson topped Joshue “Kenjiboi7” Faris heads up for the title. Faris still took home $51,965 for his runner-up.
Others cashing included Tony Dunst, Jesse Sylvia, Mike Matusow, Carols Welch, and David Williams.
